Question

I know babies like to explore by feeling but how do I stop pinching?

Share

My baby just enjoys pinching. I tell her no then remove her hands but she thinks this is funny. She sometimes scrapes us with her nails as well. When we say ouch and sometimes it is a real ouch she still thinks it is funny and laughs and giggles. I think she thinks it's a game but I always say No and remove her hands. What else can I do?
